It is, but this misses the point. You want to use the latest ppport.h 
even when building with earlier perls.

The man page says:
      just take the most recent copy of ppport.h that you      can find (e.g. by generating it with the latest
"Devel::PPPort"
 
release      from CPAN), copy it into your project, adjust your project to use it,      and distribute the header along
withyour module.
 

We are using ppport.h correctly - we're just a bit out of date, that's all.

cheers
